On the cover of the poster we used the font we thought would be most appropriate to the image and theme. We also used alliteration to amuse and engage the viewer. The colours used combined with the mysterious and slightly sinister facial expression of the person on the front helps us to try and intrigue the reader. Any space that was left on the cover we filled with effects that related to the magical theme of the magazine like stars or sparks. We also used colour and font styling on the subheadings to try and make the stories stand out.
The most memorable thing of the image is probably the person modelling the cover (Sam). We gave him props like the broom which relates to one of the stories mentioned on the cover. This probably stood out because he is the only person on the cover and aside from the sparks and stars, is the only image. With the use of alliteration, “sixty second snitch snatch”, we intended to make it gripping and intriguing. The title of the magazine “Wogharts weekly” is also alliteration and is designed to immediately grab attention.
Because the magazine concept is fictional, the target audience is with some exceptions, more likely to be the younger generation. So although the image on the cover suggests the age range of the readers, the gender isn’t confirmed and can really appeal to anyone as long as they like the theme. The only use of facts in the cover are the headlines of the stories, such as, “sixty second snitch snatch” this plainly shows that the “snitch” was snatched or caught, in a minute.
